Are You Being Investigated for or Have You Been Charged with a Violation of Florida's Strict Gun Laws? If so, you need a firearms defense attorney who understands the rights afforded to you by the Second Amendment to the Constitution and our state's powerful gun laws. Under provisions to the Bill of Rights, individuals have the right to possess a firearm and citizens are allowed to use a weapon for lawful purposes, such as in self-defense.

If so, you may have been surprised when you were handcuffed and charged with assault and battery. No matter how you saw the incident, a law enforcement officer can charge you with assault if someone had a reasonable fear that you intended to harm them, and you appeared to be capable of doing so.

After a thorough review of your case, our attorneys may be able to substantiate a plea negotiation or dismissal of the charges by identifying the underlying causes, such as being intoxicated, acting in self defense, or coming to the aid of another.To learn more about these charges and if your case falls under the umbrella of battery, contact us online or call (352) 329-3632.
